Matty Bovan Autumn/Winter 2018 Ready To Wear

Red Alert

IF you're a lipstick obsessive then you're probably already lusting after the super-bright lips seen on the catwalk at Thakoon's autumn/winter 2012-13 show. But the NARS team, who created the look, had an unusual trick up their sleeves. "We first applied our Heat Wave lipstick, and then crushed Exhibit A blush with a mascara wand as a loose pigment," revealed Arthur Boston, national stylist for NARS. "Then we carefully set the crushed pigment onto the models' lips to create a really bright, luminous quality."

A flawless base was the only other component of the eye-catching look. "To apply the foundation, we first gently rubbed it in the palm of our hands to warm it up, which makes it go on much silkier - think about it, it's like applying warm butter to toast," Boston told The New York Magazine. "Then we put it on using our fingers - always use your fingers when applying it! Next, we used concealer… and our new brightening powder, Undress Me Multiple, brushing the product with our fingers from the cheeks all the way into the temples." Red lips have also been spotted on the Victoria Beckham, Marc by Marc Jacobs and Zac Posen, so start practising now.
